  • 3  tablespoons finely chopped toasted pecans
  • 2  eggs, beaten
  • 2  cups mashed sweet potatoes*
  • 1/2  cup dairy sour cream
  • 1/2  cup sugar
  • 1  tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/4  teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4  teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4  teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4  teaspoon ground cinnamon

Stir in milk. Pour sweet potato mixture over prebaked crust, spreading evenly. Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 25 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately sprinkle with remaining chopped nuts; press lightly into filling. Cool completely. Cut into bars about 2x1-1/2-inches. Cover and store in refrigerator up to 24 hours. Makes 36 bars.
